He completed 33-of-41 passes for 359 passes and two touchdowns, including the game victor. Brees had a passer rating of 119.4.

Jerry Jones recently revealed that Bryant told him the pain in his foot is going away. Brees is expected to start Sunday against Dallas.
“He’s a smart player”, coach Sean Payton said. We got lucky there. “So it will be good to build off of that”. Spiller got free for an 80-yard touchdown at the beginning of overtime, and it was because a rookie got lost in his assignment. He also reached the 5,000 career completion mark.
Dallas safety Barry Church had the best chance to make a game-saving tackle, but was no match for Spiller’s speed. The Saints want to use Spiller’s speed on the edge. Dallas is 15 in efficiency in this situation, gaining four or more yards 47.9 percent of the time. The Cowboys’ new offensive coordinator points to the lack of explosive rushing plays as to why their offense has been stalling. But that applies to everything, how you’re doing in the red zone. Sacks came from Jack Crawford and DeMarcus Lawrence, as well as Damien Wilson and Anthony Hitchens, who combined on one. They were – picking up four or more yards 52.1 percent of the time – the second-highest rate in the NFL. They had just 44 yards rushing through the first three quarters. He also had a 45-yard run on the second play from scrimmage against the Saints and had five carries for 67 yards for the season.
It was Brees, who orchestrated the game-winning play in overtime, when shortly after he took the snap from center Max Unger, he recognized that no one was really paying attention to running back C.J.
But the Cowboys are still one step closer to an “oh-fer” without Romo, as executive vice president of personnel Stephen Jones put it last week when admitting that Dallas would be out of contention at 2-7 in that scenario.
The Cowboys are always monitoring the market for upgrades, but will likely go with Joseph Randle, Darren McFadden and Christine Michael to fill Dunbar’s void. Obviously we didn’t get that done.
Pinning the team’s second consecutive loss on Randle is patently unfair. He had 11 tackles against the Cardinals and has 55 on the season, hitting double figures every game.

Wednesday brought about the arrival of at least two kickers for workouts after Zach Hocker missed a potential game-winning 30-yard field goal attempt at the end of regulation Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys. “I think what’s happened to us in the last two games, we’ve had a few negative runs, significant negative runs that have really hindered our ability to stay on the field”.
